Watching Twitter tonight has taught me one thing, Phillies fans are a bunch of whiny dicks. But it's ok, every tank needs a bottom feeder.
And I thought I wanted to hug Johan last week. I think I'm officially in love.
Listening to Ra, glance at the notes and there's @AliveRecords. Nice cover, Mr. Boissel! @TheGloryFires #magiccityjams http://t.co/uT0M77VJ

How much time, effort and money went into developing machine that can simulate any bowler on earth (except for the beer-drinking part)? And why would anyone invent a robot that can play a sport that most humans don’t even participate in anymore? And how will this one-armed behemoth even be able to wear a cool bowling shirt?
And is this really the first step toward a world in which machines controlled by Skynet fly around dropping bowling balls on everyone’s heads?
